I am looking for tips and advice on Elk Hunting. Tips, and locations appreciated. I understand that people don't like giving up locations.
A little bit about me...
I have only been hunting for 3 years, this next season will be my fourth. I put in a lot of effort each year. I Do lots of trips scouting pre season, and lots of trips hunting. My boots hit the ground. The main area I would probably hunt is Reg 8. but I do plan to possibly do a trip up north possibly.
Although I have been successful with hunting each year, The deer still eludes me. I have been lucky enough to harvest a Moose, a Bison, and a black bear. I have put in months of hunting and scouting for a deer, and just can't seam to get one, so I have decided to shift my focus on Elk and if a legal deer crosses my path...BANG
I have been watching Randy N vids on youtube. I have practiced my Bull call, and know of one spot in 8-5 that I have seen a herd, as well as seen a couple cow elk on other days.
Seams Elk like the forrest and rarely come out into clearings. I have never heard a Bugle.
If anyone has any tips and advice or locations for me I will really appreciate it. PM's ok. I understand that elk is probably one of the most difficult of the ungulates to hunt. But at the rate that am going, I will harvest every other animal before I get my first deer, so it only seems fitting to focus on Elk.
Thanks again ahead of time.
